Jeffery Aaron Rank

He work on my case and charged me over and over because his notes were like child writing, he quit my case days before final trial, and I had to pay extra for another attorney to try to catch up, and follow his chicken scratch. What a joke of an attorney, if he is recommended for you case , absolutel...y deny his service.

He listened to what I was trying to succeed and my goals. He made it clear to the other party as well. He would not let me sign unless I was completely satisfied. He listened and understood what i was trying to acheive. He was great at communication for any upcoming scheduling, or cancelations. The...y would always return messages if the phone was not answered immediatly. I know others who have also had very successful cases. Because of this i would highly recomend him as a lawyer. 2020

I hired Mr. Rank to handle the legalities of a agreed, uncontested divorce for me in May of 2017. He most happily accepted my flat rate payment in full, up front. June, July, August, and half of September I couldn't get in contact with Mr. Rank after placing 13 calls into his office. I was always to...ld "he is very busy, and will call you back shortly". After MONTHS of waiting for a reply from my paid attorney, my soon to be ex wife got tired of waiting (as did I) for a response from Mr. Rank. So she then sought out and revived the required paperwork from a legal assistance firm, and was able to get a court date set. So, fast forward to one week before court. Mr. Ranks secretary calls me to set an appointment, I arrive and have to inform Me. Rank of the pending court date. So now, with a sense of urgency, my wife and I struggle to get a decree that will be acceptable to the court, and email Mr. Ranks secretary back and forth until we have a "valid" document, with the Guarantee that Mr. Rank will validate it himself. Now, the day of court. Mr. Rank shows up 45 minutes late, and informs me that the decree isn't acceptable. When I express my shock as to how this can be, on the day of court, he informs me that " I didn't have time to review the decree" and the only reason was " you're not my only client". His position was that I needed to "grow a pair, and just take that BI+@# to trial". I'm very embarrassed to say that I gave Mr. Rank another $1,000 against what it would cost IF it went to trial. Following week, my wife and I has over the agreement, completing 4 revisions before I take what we believe to be an acceptable decree to Mr. Ranks office to have it approved. Another week goes by, then I get the appointment. Mr. Rank at that point hadn't completed ANY work on the agreement, and for some reason didn't have ANY of the information that had been emailed to his office time and time again during the YEAR. So, being obviously displeased with his lack of progress, I requested that the funds I put up in good faith against the possibility of trial be returned to me. And that's where his complete lack of work ethic and moral showed up clear as day. He had changed our "flat rate" contract I to an "hourly" contract without my knowledge or consent. Then informed me that my "up front, in full" payment was gone, and my in good faith payment against the possibility of trial was also gone. And that I owed him more money. Now, up to this point, he had not completed, or even made ANY progress towards validating the decree that he was too busy to even write up. My wife and I had to do it ourselves out of nessesity due to Mr. Ranks complete lack of work ethic. When I expressed my concerns with his lack of effort to date, his response was " you are annoying me now, you can sit in the waiting room, or leave". If you are considering hiring Mr. Rank as your attorney, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND taking stacks of hundred dollars bills out of your bank account, and setting them on fire. The end result will be the same, but with less headache.
